Disk Upgrade on Proliant Cl 380 Server
I thought that by replacing the hard disks one at a time and reconstucting the logical drives I could then create new logical drives with the spare capacity on the replacement hard disks.
When I go into the CR3500 configuration utility and try to create a new logical drive it doesn't allow me to select any of the new hard disks.
Is my thinking incorrect or can anyone shed any light on the best way to perform this hard disk upgrade.

Re: Disk Upgrade on Proliant Cl 380 Server
The way I understand this is as below:
1. By upgrading the disks with higher capacity one at a time, you have added more space to the existing array. So, at the successful completion of this step, at the array level, you should see unassigned space [this would be equal to the additional space you just added].
2. You should then extend your array [if the controller supports it] to occupy this additional space. Note, this is not an OS level operation.
3. At the successful completion of step 2, you should then use OS level tools such as dynamic disk "span volume" or Diskpart tool for basic disks to extend your OS level logical volumes/partition.
hope this helps,
regards

Sorry, this may be true for a certain family of array controllers such as HSG80s, etc, but on Smart Array controller, array expansion is supported.

Re: Disk Upgrade on Proliant Cl 380 Server
It's different when you create a second logical drive with only 18GB disks. Then no space will be wasted.
